Good morning Roberto and Arianna,

Back to work this morning and the first thing on my to-do list is to drop you a line to say a massive thank you.

The food you prepared for Friday’s meal and Sunday’s BBQ was exquisite and far exceeded my expectation, it was the topic of conversation many times!

I promised I would pass on thanks and comments from the girls who all said what a wonderful couple you are (and I totally agree, how you managed to put up with us rowdy lot I’ve no idea). They also commented on how professional and organised you were; everything arrived at the table hot, delicious and on time.

You were an integral part in making the celebration very special and I look forward to meeting you again the next time

With best wishes

Travelled to Portugal with 20 Canadian women this Sept (2017) with hopes to be wined and dined with local fare. Roberto & Arianna did not disappoint and raised the bar above our expectations. We were welcomed warmly to every meal by our hosts personally and by their beautifully set tables and aromas to die for. Chef Roberto was able to capture the many tastes of the the Mediterranean and provided plenty of variety over our 7 day stay. Arianna served us graciously and my wine glass was seldom empty. From beginning to end each meal was well thought out, executed perfectly, and tasted amazing!

Roberto humoured us in answering all our culinary questions, taught us plenty and showed great passion for what he does so well.

Our group was unanimous in saying that the food and service were world class and we will be raving about the flavours of Portugal for time to come.

Many thanks Roberto & Arianna! Our fondest memories of Portugal will always include the food we enjoyed on our terrace. We will recommend your services without hesitation to anyone who has the luxury of traveling your way.

Obrigada e bom trabalho!

Ciara Wedding

Another important part of the day for us was the food and drinks. We wanted to have a relaxed barbeque meal with a bar serving cocktails. We came across Roberto and Arianna from Chef Affairs, who are an Italian couple and their traditional Italian cooking comes through in all of their amazing food. We had canapés, starters and a spectacular barbeque of different meats and fish and then some gorgeous desserts.

Taste of Portugal menu

I must mention that Roberto and Arianna are wonderfully professional individuals that make you feel as though you are one of the family, they shared with us the history of the dishes, where the ingredients came from, so it was more than (just a meal) it was an AMAZING experience. When we come back...and we will, we will be sure to call you again...as everyone should have this great time. All the best from Canada.

Dear Roberto, Just a quick email to thank you for your wonderful meals last week for all of us at Quinta Almara. We all had such an enjoyable holiday, and your cooking played a big part in us enjoying ourselves as much as it did. I have also contacted Premier Villas and thanked them for recommending you, as well as praising your cooking. Assuming we return to the Algarve before too long, we would very much like to book you again, assuming you do not get too booked up.

Many thanks again and best wishes,
